Managers and Coaches:

Step 4 – Coaches Certification Requirement

Upon approval of your background check, you will be eligible to attend a Hillsborough County Coaching Clinic.  Hillsborough County requires all youth sports coaches to complete a “Coaches Certification Class” and possess a valid certification card at all times when coaching at county facilities.

  • A NYSCA Certification can be substituted for the Hillsborough County Coaches Certification.  Visit http://www.nays.org/coaches/ for more information on NYSCA Certification.
  • Coaches are required to wear their coaches certification at all times while coaching or practicing.

Step 5 - Concussion and Head Injury Awareness Training

Hillsborough County mandates that all coaches and managers must be trained in “Concussion and Head Injury” awareness.  There is a free, online course to get certified.  The course is short, about 20 minutes from registration to completion.  The course certification certificate, which can be printed at the completion of the course, must be turned in to EBYA Volunteer Coordinator before you will be allowed to manage or coach a team. Please note that this is an annual requirement.
